Just Create - Capybara Edition

It's another bright and sunny weekend here. How are you doing? What are you up to? What do you want to share and what do you need encouragement on?

If you want to do stuff with company, I'll be hanging out in my gather space most of this weekend as I try to convince myself to get stuff done. https://gather.town/app/1bKfBksI5OVsqQRr/TheCatsTail

I am making good progress on Peeking Cats cross stitch pattern by Durene Jones. No pictures this week, maybe next time.

I still want to do the Geek Girl Capsule Wardrobe project. I seem to be using planning as an excuse to shirk the actual sewing. :( On the bright side I have several pages of requirements and use cases written out.

I have barely left the house in nearly 2 years and am bored out of my mind. I could really use some encouragement on making clothes - I've been blocked on that by the attitude of "why bother, I'm never going to go any place." Someone please tell me I'll be able to travel again someday...

I know that feeling! I'm a massive homebody and even I'm feeling shut in. But think of how nice new clothes will feel. And travel will be safe again at some point. My parents took a roadtrip near the start of the pandemic and were fine. It'll get fine again.

Last month, researchers from the Texas Children’s Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine developed a new vaccine that they released patent-free to the entire world. This vaccine being patent-free means that the entire world can make and distribute it as needed, without paying outrageous sums or even culturally significant artifacts to predatory pharmaceutical companies in exchange. Lack of a patent-free vaccine was a major barrier to getting worldwide vaccination rates up, and this has the potential to close gaps where greed had previously encouraged the virus to spread and mutate.

We will absolutely be able to travel again someday.

Just kidding, here's a picture!
